Where is Technically Simple based?

Technically Simple is based in beautiful Vancouver, Canada. We work with some people and organizations out of our office in downtown Vancouver (Gastown), but most of our sessions are provided remotely using the Zoom online meeting platform.

Do you provide services to people and organizations outside of Vancouver, Canada?

Absolutely. We work with people and organizations all over the world. Many of our sessions are conducted using the Zoom online meeting platform. We provide in-house training within organizations.

Technically Simple Founder, Tim Stringer is the only full-time member of the Technically Simple team. Though, we do frequently work with contractors and invite productivity and technology experts to share their expertise with our community.

How much do your charge for your services?

We provide our services either on an hourly or contract basis. See the Platform & Rates page for more information and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or would like a quote.

Do I need I need a Zoom account to join online sessions?

No. When you join the session you'll be prompted to download the free Zoom app.

On a side note, if you want to use Zoom for your own meetings, you can create a free Zoom account. With a free Zoom account you can have unlimited one-on-one meetings. Group meetings are limited to 40 minutes. To remove this restriction and to gain access to more features, upgrade to one of their paid plans.

Can sessions be recorded?

Some online sessions can be recorded and shared with you and your team. Additional costs may apply and recordings are for internal use only.

Please let us know in advance if you'd like a recording of your session.
